Bar Holiday has an opening for an experienced chef to lead our kitchen.

We’re a small to medium-sized neighbourhood bar and restaurant located in front of a park just on the edge of the CBD and Carlton.

Our food is honest and generous, sometimes Euro-leaning, but always with a satisfying home-cooked touch.

You’ll be working in an open kitchen in the middle of the venue, being able to see customers dining along with a lush green view out the window.

It’s a vibrant, busy and down to earth kitchen — customers will come up and say thank you as they walk out, and sometimes you'll run a dish you've just cooked direct to the table.

The role is full time comprising either 4 or 5 nights of service per week, depending on your preference. Duties include

food preparation and execution during service, including meat and fish butchery
kitchen ordering & stock management
COGS calculations
developing new dishes for menu updates
overseeing and guiding other kitchen staff

If you've dined with us before, know what we do, and would like to be involved, we'd love to hear from you!

In short:

Be part of a small, vibrant and thriving neighbourhood venue
3-5 years experience essential — you'll be running the kitchen
Full time role, 4 or 5 nights per week (no overtime)
Carlton/city fringe location
Competitive salary
Starting in July

Please note, it is important that applicants are familiar with the venue.

Any further questions, please get in touch.
